Serial Killer Suspects

SPOILER WARNING:

This discussion may contain spoilers!

Judging from the various amounts of posts on the Wolf Among Us, I became curious on the suspects each of you guys were extremely suspicious of and why. There's a list of Bigby's POIs (person of interest) below that I have seen in posts so far.

Twiddle Dee/Dum If one chose to go to Frog's apartment, and successfully extracted the truth from him, Frog tells Bigby of the threat that Twiddle brothers Dee and Dum made of killing his son. Also, Twiddle Dee was shown to be hiding in the closet of Lawrence's place after "asking about Faith's whereabouts."

Woody In the beginning of Wolf Among Us, Bigby Wolf is called by Mr. Frog to investigate a disturbance upstairs. He finds the Woodsman, or "Woody", hitting a prostitute that we find out later to be called "Faith". He has been shown to attack Bigby with an axe and would have a suspicious motive to have beheaded Faith and Snow with that very same axe.

Bluebeard Although not shown in the first episode of Wolf Among Us, Bluebeard's fairy tale has involved his infatuation of beheading his brides, until he is stopped by one girl, who discovers his secret, and gets her brothers to kill him. Judging from the Fables Wiki, Bluebeard has a sadistic streak of killing those that are harmless to him, and exercising his wealth and influence. Maybe he hasn't changed his ways after all....

Lawrence Once upon a time, we lived in a world where two young people fall in love, get married, and raise a family peacefully. This might not be the case for the Donkeyskin Fairy Tale couple, who have fallen on hard times, leading to what hinted at a nasty social dispute with Faith trying to raise money and help Lawrence out. A spat of jealousy could have easily fueled Lawrence's rage, murdering her in cold blood for sleeping with other men.

Snow White Although she is shown dead at the end of Episode 1, Snow's severed head may have been a ruse to throw suspicions off of herself. She may be hiding somewhere, waiting to emerge from the shadows for her next victim. MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAha.......coughs Excuse me.

Mysterious Man (EDIT: Twiddle Dee/Dum?) If one chose to go to investigate Mr. Frog's frantic call about someone riffling through Woody's possessions, Brigby sees a silhouette of a slender male figure in a top hat roaming around in there. Much isn't revealed about this guy, but he may have a hand in the serial killer's motives.

Ginger Dude Many of Wolf Among Us cutscenes show a redheaded male lurking around. Players typically first see him when Snow and Brigby almost bump into him in the apartments' hallway. He has been shown in the background of certain cutscenes, and a positive ID of the ginger's presence as the taxi driver for Wolf and Snow have been made by some players. A number of players have considered the fact that the ginger male may be a wolf himself, affirming the facts that there were scratch marks on Mr. Frog's windows and his ubiquitous (everywhere at once) presence wherever Brigby goes. Only time will tell whether the community was true.

So, what do you guys think? I'll try to add to this list when the next episode comes out, as a four letter word is going to hit the fan.

Even though I pointed to Woody in the game when Snow asked, I don't think he did it. He's almost too perfect of a suspect. He's the guy in a mystery story that the cops go to first, and then after they question him, you realize it was just a red herring to keep you from figuring out the real killer. Besides, when Bigby talked to him in the bar, he seemed genuinely surprised to hear about Faith's murder. I believe him.

Lawrence is one of the victims, and we know he's dead before Snow's murder. So unless he somehow faked his death, I think we can cross him off the list.

Bluebeard is pretty evil, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did something like this. But I hesitate to say that he's the guy simply because the game is a prequel. So assuming that Bigby eventually solves the case by the end of the season and it does turn out to be Bluebeard, why is he still walking around free in "Legends in Exile?" Of course, there's another scene that doesn't make sense for much the same reason, so clearly some things are going to have to somehow be retconned back into continuity before the end.

The camera did seem to linger a little too long on the redheaded guy in the hallway, so I imagine we probably will be seeing him again in some capacity. At this point, I'd say that if he's not the killer, it's probably someone we haven't seen yet.

Fables Spoilers??(not really though) I just want to point out that just because this game is a 'prequel' doesn't mean it is following the comics, the most obvious fact is that Snow is super definitely alive in the comics and is a prominent character throughout it... So right now my bet is something to do with Bluebeard.

Telltale said they are following the comics storyline. From what I see it's more of the spinoffs. Fairest spinoff reveals what Beauty is doing. If it didn't follow the storyline Bluebeard would not have anything to do with what's happening now. Others already pointed out the doorman's tale, which would explain Snow White being alive in the comics.

Murder suspects?

Listen up for here is my theory. The wolf among us seems to be a typical story of redemption. Our anti hero character tries to leave his past behind and to suppress the monster inside. Why? He's the big bad wolf and everybody hates or is afraid of him and he doesn't seem to enjoy it.

Since the murders seem to be in some way connected to him (women he knows are brought to his doorstep), I assume the main bad person is connected to his past. Maybe it's a previous victim that has gone crazy?

So if I were you, I would consider "Red" as a suspect. Surely it's much more complicated and I expect some connection to the broken laws for the fables....

Well, due to language issues I didn't quite understand, what he said, when looking at her in the book. Is she dead?

Anyway, it would be interesting, if he would face his past in such way to get his redemption and arresting the killer or to accept beeing the big bad wolf and killing everybody present in rage.

@ ginger
Bah, that would be so lame, as in Shadowrun returns. Why does the killer always have to be visibly "hidden" somewhere. I would prefer a killer that stays truly hidden until the last episode.

@copycat killer
I didn't see anything that would let me think this to be true. It's possible, but I don't think so. I rather see this as a way to personally hurt our wolfman (for which I have no proof either).

I like how you looks at it from the author's point of view, and the mechanisms behind the written work. However, Telltale Games have provided us with a lot of red herrings to go on, and I agree with the fact that we might not even see the real killer till the last episode. In order to write a good mystery novel, you have to make the reader facepalm in the last few pages of the book. Maybe this is what Telltale Games is trying to accomplish.

I don't think its any of the suspects that we could name in Episode 1, I think all of them would be too obvious. I think out of everyone we saw it could be the Ginger dude. I wondered what was the point of adding him in, I think he's going to be a more important character in later episodes.

Did anyone else think that, especially when Faith was killed, that it could be Bigby himself? I haven't read the comics but I thought that maybe he just goes into random fits of rage and can't stop himself, and since she was heading to the Woodlands, maybe he killed her then (he fell asleep before her body was placed and woke up after it was, so maybe he didn't even know it himself that he killed her). But it doesn't really make sense that he killed Snow White considering there was no time to do it as he was in the bar with he Woodsman.

I actually thought that, and he coulda've killed Faith, but he couldn't killed Snow. What if someone who liked Faith, discovered Bigby was responsible, so he found out that he kinda liked Snow, and then that guy/gal decapitated Snow. Just a theorie.

Because of the comics (and also, because Bigby as Oedipus trying to find who the murderer is while realizing he is the murderer... is a trope already washed out of its surprise,) Bigby wouldn't be the killer. It would have to be addressed at some point. As with Red it seems plainly impossible because of the comics, too, but I won't say why because it would spoil it.

The killer is not on Snow's list , I can ensure you that. Before trying to guess who he is , we must first understand why the murders happen.
I doubt we can predict anything right now , but here's some of my theories about reasons of murder :

Somebody hates Bigby and wants revenge from him. This could either be something from his past (maybe it's Red Riding Hood lol) , or something that happened after they moved in Fabletown.

Somebody is jealous on Bigby being a sheriff and wants to take his place (doubt it , but who knows)

Somebody is tired of seeing The Fables live miserably and wants to free them. And by free , I mean take over the world. Fables are obviously very strong , imagine how much destruction could Bigby cause when getting in his wolf form. Now let's add Beast , Woodsman , The Witch ... you got the idea. If this theory is correct , somebody is probably trying to piss Bigby off (and awake his Werewolf form). Personally I like this theory a lot !

Personally I find it very hard to predict anything right now , and I'm extremely curious to see what will happen in the next episodes ! I'd like to say that I find The Wolf Among Us being Reeealy good. The ending of the 1st episode gave me chills and literally left me speechless for 10 minutes. The impact it had on me was amazing , and I want to congratulate Telltale for that xD

I bet it's frog he said he was tired of feeling trivial, in fact they all are. He probably didn't pull it off himself though. Could be a witch involved. could be someone who is tired of living on the farm. Based on what Colin said it's a horrible place and bigby is responsible for sending fables there. Whoever it is their stalking Bigby, taking away anything he might love or potentially love.(snow/faith)

Also, in my playthrough, I went to Toad's first, and it was one of the Tweedle's up in The Woodsman's apartment - I was thrown by the picture of "suspects" in the end game statistics when I saw the skinny guy with the Hat.

Here's a thought. What if the murderer is the Headless Horseman? Both of the murders were decapitations, right? So the MO fits. And Bigby says that the heads were left in front of the Woodlands as message. Maybe he's sending a message to Crane.

Taxi driver in the very last scene with alive Snow White looks like Ginger Dude. Nobody noticed that? Or is it just me? Anyway I don't think it's Woody, he was really surprised when Bigby told him about murdered Faith. Twiddle Dee/Dum knows something, that`s why I chased him not Woodsman.
And one more thing...every potential romance interest of playable characters will die in every Telltale game(Carley, Faith, Snow)? XD
